Cat-Eye eyeglasses - The purrrfect choice to add a truly vintage renewal to your everyday.
Cat-Eye glasses are a playful eyewear style that features rounded frames with elegant upswept corners near your temples. If you couldn't guess, the name “cat eye” comes from the rounded frames with a flair up at the ends, the pointy part, resembling the shape of a cat's eyes. You may be wondering why the feline is commonly mentioned in fashion. Is it because of their independent spirit, their ability to problem solve, or their sleek mysterious persona? The answer is, all of the above. From subtle to adventurous, cat eye glasses will accentuate your bone structure while creating a look that is fierce, independent, and mysterious. While wearing these pointy, shaped frames, every day will be your cat walk.
Believe it or not, cat-eye glasses are arguably the most classic frame shape of eyeglasses. Cat-Eye frames made their first appearance in the 1930's but became the talk of the town after actress Audrey Hepburn sported cat-eye frames in the classic 1961 movie, Breakfast at Tiffany's. Marilyn Monroe wore a pair of cat eyes in the 1953 film, “How to Marry a Millionaire.” It didn't take long to qualify cat eye frames as the absolute choice for feminine eyewear. Hollywood's leading ladies claimed the cat eye shape as their own, making it their calling card in the 1950s and 1960s. One of the first women to show off the cat eye statement is one icon we all know and cherish - actress Elizabeth Taylor. She engulfed the style as her own and made cat eye frames a symbol of a powerful woman. Today, they continue to be one of the top trending eye glasses around. The cat eye look has always been directed towards women, however, men have been rocking this fabulous style more and more lately with bold or softer cat eye frames creating an all-inclusive feel to the fashion accessory.
